Does your wooden cutting board reek of onions or garlic? It's a common issue for home cooks.
To naturally deep clean it and eliminate odors, try this simple, proven method using three everyday ingredients: baking soda, lemon, and salt. Here's how:
1. Sprinkle generously with baking soda across the cutting board.
2. Let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Sprinkle salt over the baking soda layer.
4. Cut a lemon in half and use one half to rub the board. Squeeze occasionally to release juice, mixing it with the salt and baking soda.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean towel.
6. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Your cutting board will be spotless, odor-free, and refreshed :-) Simple, effective, and 100% natural—plus, it's budget-friendly.
This trusted grandma's trick works wonders on wooden, raw wood, or bamboo boards. It's also safe for plastic ones.
Lemon acts as a powerful antiseptic, while baking soda's cleansing properties are well-established. Together, they disinfect deeply and neutralize odors.
Salt kills bacteria for a hygienic surface. The abrasive texture of salt and baking soda scrubs away stubborn dirt.
